Gates maps out future for Microsoft anti-virus | |

| Time: 12:23 EST/17:23 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Microsoft boss Bill Gates pledged further action to help users and firms improve security when he opened the RSA conference in San Francisco late February. "The email vector continues to be the primary means of virus spread," he said. "We need to improve the [virus-] scanning capabilities. Having a single engine to do that scan is not sufficient." On the spyware front, Microsoft plans to bundle free anti-spyware capability with Windows. Gates said there was a "burning need for our users [to tackle spyware]," adding that there had been more than five million downloads of his firm's beta anti-spyware software since its release a month ago. | ||

"Having a single engine to do that scan is not sufficient."
This is probably one of the reasons for the Sybari purchase which uses multiple engines to scan emails. |
